According to this poem, stories A. give children terrible nightmares if told before bedtime. B. transform fathers into wonderful heroes for their children. C. help people cope with the problems that they experience. D. let people have adventures from the comfort of home

Answer: D. let people have adventures from the comfort of home.

Step-by-step explanation:

Guest´s poem describes a father telling stories to the kids before bedtime. That nightly ritual seems to happen every day, and allows them to go on adventures with pirates, "Or fairies hiding in the glen," and many other fictional scenes.

In those adventures, they can be as they wish, because "No longer are they youngsters small," and the father is not old.

He describes seemingly dangerous situations, such as great battles, that might seem dangerous but are harmless because they always end well and just in time for bed.
